wanted him let bryan have his way there were as a matter of fact six of the nine votes of the subcommittee pledged against bell but after a little private caucus of the bosses who were threatening

william jen nings bryan of lincoln neb is the democratic party of the tj s a that is the official de cree of the subcommittee on arrange ments that met here this afternoon to prepare for the

official head of the order of j eagles the selection was made noj because the committee wanted be^h but because james c dahlnis mayor of omaha and the intimate of bryan gave notice that the ne braskan wanted him let bryan have his way there were as a matter of fact six of the nine votes of the subcommittee pledged against bell but after a little private caucus of the bosses who were threatening insurrection they decided that the best way to dispose of the matter was to let bryan have just what he wants and to let him go just as far as he likes after the selection of bell for the temporary chairmanship there is one thing of which the country at large may take notice that thing is that the impending convention m denver is not going to transact any business whatever it is merely going to re flect the mind of the man at lincoln therefore not only is bell to be tem porary chairman but congressman henry d clayton of alabama is to be permanent chairman and for the same reason â€” bryan wants him i am not prepared to say said dahl man to-night who the permanent chair man will be i only know that bryan is favorable to congressman clayton isn't that enough to ensure clayton's selection
